Action Masters

but it does mean we miss out on the stupid fun of bigger playsets and transforming suits/vehicles.

The DOTM Cyberverse (and it's continuation into Prime) was probably the last time there were a definite effort to have playsets/vehicles/suits in a 'main' line.

But these days though we have the Titan bases and the Modulator/Weaponisers/Fossilizers and the Battlemasters as the transforming weapon companions/armour suits.

My younger brother who was at the perfect age when they came out called them craption masters, for two reasons, lack of transformation and that with any decent play their joints became super loose. As an adult collector I grew to love them but still lamented their stupid loose joints. When I was collecting them there were plenty of MOSC and MIB/MISB figures getting around at very good prices so it was nice to put the G1 figures into my collection.

If I were more into the old GI Joe toys, I would've loved action masters. As it was though, I only had a couple of Joes and I don't actually recall seeing action masters in the shops at all at the time when they would have been out.

The last Transformers I bought when I was a kid was Action Masters - I had Over-run and Optimus Prime. My memory is pretty hazy, I think I moved onto computer games after that and stopped playing with toys. So they have a special place in my childhood memories in that they were my last bought toys. Sadly I don?t have them as I gave them all away.

I'd like to see non-transforming toys (or toys with notional alt-modes just for the heck of it) of more Quintessons as well as Lithons, Trans-Organics, Slizardo and the Skuxxoid etc.

I kind of want that fighting-practice robot from the '86 movie too while I think about it. Bonus points if it comes with a 'Time Out Time Out TIME OUT!' voice chip (and the practice sword and shield Hot Rod used).
